Savory Sight: Korean Tacos From Namu

Korean tacos are the ultimate in East-meets-West, street-food fusion. Here HeyKristen shares her experience of Namu's version.I heard a ton about these tacos (most recently in a New York Times article) but I had yet to try them. I got a chance this weekend during San Francisco's Outside Lands music festival, and was not disappointed! The tacos come with a seaweed "shell" and are filled with beef, rice, onion, and a delicious spicy sauce. They ended up being the perfect festival food . . . I ate six of them over the course of the weekend!

hmm yea the tomatoes aren't typical, nor the onions, but i totally assemble my kimbab like that at home... i mean, there are the ones that are rolled up (like what they sell at markets), but when i'm just eating seaweed and rice with other things at home, i just eat it like a "ssam", which is yea, the same as taco style. but it's korean!
i just wish they could sell it off as being all-korean, which it mostly is, instead of relying on the hype of korean tacos
(also, as a nerd, i had to look it up... wikipedia says a TACO is defined by its corn or wheat tortilla that is rolled or folded around a filling... haha yes! i'm a nerd... but i looked it up cuz i basically thought that was the case)
